Portion of this video was taken on Feb. 12, 2007 at the Nayon ng Kabataan (Children's Village housing 175-200 children) in Welfareville Compound, Mandaluyong City, Philippines, by a video crew team sent by Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF) based in Chicago, Illinois,USA, upon the initiative of the LSFI President to capture the program and activities in the center. Lions District 301-D2 Streetchildren Foundation, Inc. (LSFI) built the Lions Streetchildren Center (LSC) in 2001 and the Lions Livelihood and Skills Training Center (LLSTC) in 2006 in Nayon ng Kabataan thru a grant from LCIF. The LSC houses 50-70 streetchildren and the LLSTC cater to the needs of all the 200 children inside the Children's Village in a comanagement arrangement with Department of Social Welfare and Development(DSWD). LSFI is embarking on a new building project to accomodate additional training courses for the children. Hopefully this will materialize within this year thru funds sourced from LCIF and other lions clubs and members and other people who have the kind heart to help the streetchildren.
